Guests say
Gewans Farm Cottage is praised for its peaceful, tranquil setting and rustic charm, offering a comfortable 'home from home' experience. It's well-located for exploring Cornwall and is appreciated for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and thoughtful touches. Some concerns about maintenance and comfort are noted, but overall guests seem to enjoy their stay.
Most reviews mention the cottage being clean and tidy, suggesting good cleanliness standards. However, there are isolated complaints about mold and a musty smell in cabinets, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful and quiet, yet close to amenities and tourist attractions. It's considered a great base for exploring Cornwall, contributing to a high score.
Guests find the cottage comfortable with a homely feel, but some mention issues with a hard bed and low heating in winter. The comfort score reflects a balance between the positive comments and these concerns.
The cottage is generally seen as well-equipped, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues like rising damp, weak Wi-Fi, and the need for better kitchenware. These factors affect the facilities score.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as Christmas decorations and a wood burner set up ready to light. While gifts are mentioned and add to the experience, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely, quiet area. Perfectly placed for beaches and attractions alike (Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan to name two).Have stayed in many holiday places locally and this is definitely one of the best. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a great stay at Gewans Farm Cottage - located minutes from both the beach and local amenities. Surrounded by fields and with a lovely garden it was welcoming and peaceful. Our dog loved it but it’s worth noting that dogs are not allowed upstairs in the cottage which wasn’t clear on the website.
